    It’s additionally evident in Lee’s efficiency; even within the Season 2 trailers, Gi-hun is stoic and decided (look no additional than these contrasting mug photographs from his two sport orientations), now again contained in the video games as a part of a better mission to finish them. On the identical time, Hwang stated that he needed to protect what followers liked about Gi-hun in Season 1 and so as to add reminders of who he was earlier than.

    But when there are kernels of the previous Gi-hun in there, Season 2 would possibly deliver them to the floor. The trailers revealed the arrival of a brand new however acquainted participant: Gi-hun’s previous buddy Jung-bae, who he gambled and drank with earlier than the video games modified his life.

With the 2 former winners dealing with off, IndieWire requested Hwang what the Entrance Man thinks of Gi-hun at this second — and the director replied instantly in English: “Jealous.”
